Ph3n0lvl Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I was wondering if an effective way of doing barrows was to use only range. If a person with a high range level were to use a rune crossbow and good bolts, or even a Karil's Crossbow, I could see this possibly being a somewhat powerful method. My question is how effective the all range method would be, if it would even work at all. Also, if you'd like to, feel free elaborate on the possible gear that could be used. Please post any guides that might cover this issue if there are any. Thank you for reading :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codguy Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yes it is possible and it can be affective with the right gear and a very high range level (85 or 90+ at least). You of course could do it with lower but the higher the level the better. Your best bet would be using some sort of high level enchanted bolt (addy with diamond or mithril with emerald bolts). And for armor you'd want something that gives a high range bonus but also a decent prayer bonus so your prayer doesn't get drained really easily. And you just would need to incorporate what I just said into your current method of Barrowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Smither Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The barrows brother have a high range defence so it'd be tough but do able. I suggets sticking with mage though.

mockme14 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Would it be effective? i guess that using addy (e) bolts could fix the range def problem, but it may still be too slow for it to be a viable way to barrow. As for prayer boosting armour, doesn't blessed d hide give some? All in all, it COULD work. Going for a Dragonfire Shield-Almost there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatebringer Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I would stick with mage, it makes runs go faster, and you can get more/better loot quicker 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberthree Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Why attack a 300+ defense when theres a -30 one open for attacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin1357 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 you will use a lot more p pots than u would with mage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaus703 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've ranged the barrows and it was actually quite succesful. I used enchanted diamond bolts. This guide explains what to do. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=688196 Barrows drops: 27 - 2 SpearsDragon drops: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkiejeff Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It might be usefull at very high ranged lvls. But I would stick with the old method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VjuliusT Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It's possible. I tried myself at 91 ranged and 45 defence using a ranged potion and monk fish. It works without p pots but it's alot slower then magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
